            Verification Of modeL Transformation<br>
         </h2>

         <hr/>

		<p>
		Model transformations are everywhere in software development, implicitly or
		explicitly. They became first-class citizens with the advent of MDD. Despite
		some recent activity in the field, the work on the verification of model
		transformations remains scattered and a clear perspective on the subject is
		still not in sight. Furthermore, current model transformation tools lack
		verification techniques to support such activities.
		</p>

		<p>
		The Third International Workshop on the Verification Of modeL Transformation
		(VOLT 2014) is one of the most accurate venues to offer researchers a dedicated
		forum to classify, discuss, propose, and advance verification techniques
		dedicated to model transformations.
		</p>

		<p>
		VOLT 2014 promotes discussions between theoreticians and practitioners from
		academy and industry, given its ideal co-location with <a
		href="http://stafconferences.info/">STAF</a>. A significant part of the workshop includes
		a forum for discussing practical applications of model transformations and
		related problems. One of the goals of the forum is to collect enough industrial
		case studies so that those problems can be stated at a theoretical level. In order to discuss these
		and further similar questions, we would like to invite submissions in the form of short papers on ongoing work,
		position statements, or novel tool features related to the following topics:
		<p>

		<ul>
		<li> Application of formal verification, theorem proving,
		model checking or testing to model transformation </li>
		<li> Verification techniques dedicated to model transformation</li>
		<li> Taxonomies of techniques for model transformation verification </li>
		<li> Properties relevant to specific model transformations </li>
		<li> Verification of model transformations expressed in languages
		such as: ATL, QVT, TGG, VIATRA, Kermeta,
		Epsilon, etc. </li>
		<li> Verification of domain-specific model transformations, in contrast to general-purpose transformations </li>
		<li> Case studies and experience reports </li>
		<li> Tools and automation </li>
		</ul>
